That looks very much like the cause of your problem.

Option the first:

What version of MySQL are you running (and what debian version?)
lc-messages-dir was added in 5.5, I wonder if you're running an older
version somehow, but perhaps with a newer config. Hmm, do you maybe have
mysql-server-5.1 installed, rather than mysql-server (which, in Debian
6, will be 5.5 or thereabouts.)=20

Perhaps try: sudo aptitude install mysql-server. It should give you the
option of removing mysql-server-5.1. That should be safe, but I'd take a
backup first if you have data you care about, just to be sure.

Option the second:

Find it and nuke it from orb^W^W^W^W comment it out :)

Try:

sudo grep -r 'lc-messages-dir' /etc/mysql and see if anything comes up.

If it does, edit the file that's in and put a '#' at the start of that
line.

If it doesn't, it might be coming from somewhere else:
sudo grep -r 'lc-messages-dir' /etc/
will hopefully give you something useful.

If you find it and comment it out, try sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart
again and hopefully it'll work.
